Lifehacker has a nice little how-to on using an open source project called Synergy to control a combination of Mac, Windows or Linux machines from one keyboard and mouse. From Synergy's Sourceforge site (not to be confused with the iTunes controller Synergy):

Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard
between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with
its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with
multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own
monitor(s).

From what I have read, Synergy is really pretty neat. All you have to do is mouse all the way to the edge of one screen and on to your other systems screen to control the other system. It is kind of like monitor spanning with a different OS on each monitor. Go read the article. If you have more then one keyboard and mouse on your desk you might thank me, or them, or someone.
